Organizational Assessment in the Areas of Culture and Intercultural Relationships with Strategy Impl

The Early Learning Coalition of Hillsborough County (ELCHC), a non-profit organization in Florida, has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) to contract with a Consultant who can evaluate the ELCHC's culture and intercultural relationships with its key stakeholders, including employees, child care providers, families, and community partners. The Consultant should have the qualifications to assess the organization's culture, practices, and policies, and provide post-assessment training and strategic planning as necessary. The desired outcomes include a comprehensive report, a roadmap of action steps, suggested policy revisions, establishment of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), a training plan, and concrete action plans to improve intercultural communication and relationships, particularly with child care providers. The work is to be completed within the ELCHC's fiscal year from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023. Proposals will be scored based on factors such as demonstrated evidence of improved intercultural relationship outcomes, experience with developing fair and equitable policies and processes, experience working with various demographics in Hillsborough County, and cost/value.

The RFP mentions that efforts will be made to utilize woman, minority, and/or service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and the project will be funded 100% from federal funds. The procurement does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP does not provide a budget range, but it is a single-award contract opportunity.
